FILL
A BUCKET WITH MANITOU AUSTRALIA!

On July 18th, Manitou Australia organised a special event to celebrate
and show its support to the MANITOU Elevation Week.

The concept was simple: get as many clothing items as possible and fill a
Manitou bucket! In only a couple of hours… the challenge was already
completed!

200 KG of clothing items: jeans, tee-shirts, coats and shoes were collected from MAU Staff and even from Dial
A Dump Industries (DADI) which is one of the leading waste management service providers in
New South Wales based in the neighborhood.

The 200 KG of clothing were
then distributed to the local St
Vincent De Paul Charity Association in Sydney,
Australian association with more than 40,000 members and volunteers, who work
hard to assist people in need and combat social injustice across Australia.
(more information here).

Liftrite Hire & Sales, an Australian Manitou Dealer, also managed to organise their very own Manitou FILL
A BUCKET day at their local head office in Perth, Western Australia. Their
initiative was very successful and they managed to fill a whole bucket with
clothing items!

We would like to thank Liftrite for taking the time to participate, Dial A Dump Industries for supporting the initiative and bringing more than 20kg of bags! And also, the complete staff at MAU for making it happen. Thank you!

Manitou on the mountain top

Our dealer in Mongolia, Dastan Nigamet recently achieved a feat that only very few people have the chance to experiment.Dastan climbed one of the Altai Mountains , a wide mountain range boarding Mongolia, China, Russia and Kazakhstan. He has ascended the country’s most western point (4080 m above sea level) during few days.

This big fan of Manitou carried out a Manitou flag during this incredible experience.

Congratulations again for this performance Dastan. We are very proud to be part on this amazing adventure.

Northern Ireland : First Manitou 200 ATJ Access Platform

Balloo Hire are one of the largest plant, tool, site accommodation and equipment hire companies in Northern Ireland and their expertise in the plant hire sector goes back over three decades. Manitou construction telehandlers have been a popular mainstay of their hire fleet over many years and therefore it was a natural progression in the latter part of 2015 to order Manitou Access Platforms.

Twelve ATJ rough terrain articulated platforms have been purchased by Balloo Hire with a mix of the three models :

“ With our diverse customer base and servicing a wide variety of applications we need highly versatile machinery in our hire fleet to meet exacting customer demands. The early feedback from end users Manitou ATJ Access Platforms has been very positive focusing on the drive train for power and performance and the controls for ease of operation.”

MANITOU UNDER THE SUN.

Yes, we feel you too… Welcome to Likuliku lagoon resort in Fiji.

For now more than 10 years, the resort has been equipped with Manitou MT-X machines to lift, carry and load boats, trucks or containers. They recently bought the MT-X 1440 for its versatility and its reliability.

“It cannot do everything, but it can do more of everything than anything else.” says the group engineer at the Likuliku lagoon resort.

Prior to buying the Manitou MT-X 1440, the resort had owned an MT-X 1740 for many years which was used for loading and carrying heavy loads in salt water, on top of hills, etc. It had a very busy life and has now retired in the highlands of the island.

Firstly released in
European markets earlier in 2015,
Manitou Australia is proud to announce the launch the new Manitou MAN’GO 12 in Australia, New Zealand and the rest of Oceania.

New design, new concept and new diesel boom lift, the MAN’GO 12 is a significant breakthrough compared to existing models of access
platforms. It concentrates the essential qualities of Manitou access
platforms while offering a new alternative for the rental companies market.

represents significant savings in terms of transport for rental companies.

COMPACTNESS. At 1.80 m
width, it is 10 cm
narrower than its competitors, hence it is easier to use it in restricted
environments.

only 1 joystick to lift the entire structure, the MAN’GO 12 is very easy to use
and perfect for beginners.
